KALMASH KAUR FROM MOTHERWELL ESCAPES JAIL AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT ON TEENAGER
In April 2019, a woman from Motherwell who committed a sexual assault against a 16-year-old girl was spared imprisonment after a court determined her actions were a one-time incident. Kalmash Kaur, aged 43 and residing at Glen Tower in Motherwell, pleaded guilty to molesting the young girl in October 2010.The incident took place during a social gathering at Kaur’s flat, where the victim, feeling unwell, was lying on a bed when the assault occurred. The court heard that the assault was unprovoked and occurred in a private setting, raising concerns about the safety and well-being of minors in such environments.
During the hearing, defence lawyer Ken Bonnington explained that Kaur’s problematic relationship with alcohol was a significant factor contributing to her offending. He stated, “She accepts she has a difficulty with alcohol. Her home was a drinking den at this time. She had an unhappy marriage and took refuge in alcohol.”
Bonnington emphasized that although the offence was serious, it was an isolated incident and urged the court to consider a community-based sentence rather than imprisonment.
Sheriff Thomas Millar, presiding over the case, ordered Kaur to undergo supervision for a period of two years and mandated her to attend alcohol counselling sessions. In his remarks, the sheriff acknowledged the gravity of such offences, stating, “An offence of this nature, no matter how long ago, would in the normal course of events attract a custodial sentence because of the effect on the person who has suffered.”
He further noted that reports indicated this was a one-off incident unlikely to recur, and he recognized the trauma Kaur had experienced, including bereavement, as well as her expressed sympathy for the victim. The sheriff also highlighted the traumatic impact on the young girl.
As part of her sentence, Kaur was also placed on the sex offenders’ register, ensuring ongoing monitoring of her conduct. The court’s decision reflects a careful balance between accountability and recognition of her circumstances, ultimately opting for a community-based approach over incarceration.
